beneficiaries in current-payment status;

• workers’ compensation and public disability benefits;

• benefits awarded, withheld, and terminated;

• disabled workers who have returned to work;

• outcomes of applications for disability benefits; and

• disabled beneficiaries receiving Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, orboth.

Notes

The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) program provides benefits to retired workersand their dependent family members and to survivors of deceased workers. The Disability

Insurance (DI) program provides benefits to disabled workers, their spouses, and children(whether or not disabled).

Benefits are paid from the OASI and DI trust funds. However, not all disabled beneficiaries

are paid from the DI trust fund. All disabled widow(er)s' and most disabled adult children'sbenefits are paid from the OASI trust fund. Persons receiving disability benefits from eithertrust fund are referred to in this report as Social Security beneficiaries.

Data for 2001 and subsequent years presented in these tables may differ slightly from

other published statistics for two reasons. First, all data for those years are based on100 percent data files. Second, beginning in 2001, the definition of an award was changed

to include secondary benefit awards, subsequent periods of disability, and conversionsfrom one class of child's benefit to another and to exclude reinstated benefits. Thosechanges resulted in a slight increase in the award counts.

The tables on noninstitutionalized beneficiaries based on the Survey of Income and Pro-

gram Participation (SIPP) have been removed from the Annual Statistical Report on the Social Security Disability Insurance Program . Because of increased attrition of survey par-

ticipants over time and increasingly low match rates to administrative data, attempts weremade to improve the reliability of estimates based on the SIPP. The Office of Research,Evaluation, and Statistics (ORES) contracted with the Census Bureau to conduct a special

SIPP-based interview of Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income benefi-ciaries. Estimates based on the additional data were not available when this report was

published. However, ORES anticipates publishing these estimates in another publicationas well as highlighting the changes in the data and the reliability of the estimates. This

decision reinforces the inherent differences between the survey data used to produce theestimates of noninstitutionalized beneficiaries and the administrative data used in thispublication.

All years are calendar years unless otherwise specified.

Background

History of the Social Security DisabilityInsurance Program

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed theSocial Security Act into law on August 14, 1935, the

original program was designed to pay benefits only toretired workers aged 65 and older. The amendments of1939 added two new categories of benefits: paymentsto the spouse and minor children of a retired worker(known as dependents benefits ) and survivors benefitspaid to the family of a deceased worker. That changetransformed Social Security from a retirement programfor individuals into a family-based economic securityprogram.

The Social Security Amendments of 1954 initiatedthe Disability Insurance (DI) program that provided thepublic with additional coverage against economic inse-

curity. Effective as of 1955, there was a disabil ity"freeze" of workers' Social Security records duringyears when they were unable to work. Although thatmeasure offered no cash benefits, it did prevent suchperiods of disability from reducing or wiping out retire-ment and survivors benefits. This legislation outlinedthe work requirements, the definition of disability, thenature of the disability determinations, and the empha-sis on rehabilitation, which are still fundamental to thedisability program.

On August 1, 1956, as he signed new disability leg-islation, President Eisenhower said, "We will . . .endeavor to administer the disability [program] effi-ciently and effectively, [and] . . . to help rehabilitate thedisabled so that they may return to useful employment .. . . I am hopeful that the new law . . . will advance theeconomic security of the American people." Theseamendments provided cash benefits to disabled work-ers aged 50–64 (after a 6-month waiting period) and toadult children of retired, disabled, or deceased work-ers, if the children had been disabled before the age of18.

Over the next 4 years, Congress broadened the

scope of the program, providing benefits to disabledworkers' dependents in 1958 and permitting disabledworkers under the age of 50 to qualify for benefits in1960. In 1967, the act was further amended to providebenefits for disabled widows and widowers aged 50–64at a reduced rate.

The Social Security Amendments of 1972 furtherenhanced the disability program by

• reducing the waiting period from 6 months to 5;

• increasing from 18 to 22 the age before which a"childhood disability" must have begun;

• extending Medicare coverage to persons who hadbeen receiving disability benefits for 24 consecu-tive months; and

• establishing the needs-based Supplemental Secu-rity Income (SSI) program to replace the Old-AgeAssistance, Aid to the Blind, and Aid to Perma-nently and Totally Disabled programs. The SSI pro-gram, unlike the Social Security disability program,provided benefits to disabled children under theage of 18.

Throughout the 1970s, growth in the disability rollswas higher than expected as a result of increasedapplications. In addition, relatively few beneficiarieswere being rehabilitated and returning to work. As a

result, Congress enacted legislation in 1980 that• limited disability benefit levels,

• tightened administration of the Social Security andSSI disability programs by instituting a review of ini-tial disability decisions and by establishing a peri-odic review of continuing disability requirements,

• enhanced rehabilitation and work incentive provi-sions, and

• withheld payment of benefits to incarceratedfelons.

In response to concerns arising from the imple-mentation of the 1980 provision regarding the con-tinuing disability review process, Congress passedlegislation in 1982 that ensured persons, appealingdecisions on the cessation of their disability claim,

• could elect to have benefits and Medicare cover-age continued pending review by an administrativelaw judge, and

• have an opportunity for a face-to-face evidentiaryhearing at the reconsideration level of appeal.

Two provisions of the Social Security Amendmentsof 1983 affected the disability program:

• The age at which full retirement benefits are pay-able was gradually increased from 65 to 67 torestore financial soundness to the Old-Age, Survi-vors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) programs.The increase in full retirement age, which began in2000, means that disabled workers and widow(er)smay remain on the DI rolls for an additional 2 yearsbefore "converting" to age-based benefits. It is alsolikely that more of these older workers will apply for

and become entitled to disability-based benefitsbecause of this change.

• Benefits to disabled widow(er)s were improved bydecreasing the benefit reduction for beneficiariesunder the age of 60 and by continuing payments tocertain disabled widow(er)s who remarried.

In 1984, Congress enacted a number of changesaffecting the interpretation of disability, such as institut-ing a "medical improvement standard" in the continuingdisability review process, revising the mental impair-ment listings, and considering the combined effect ofall impairments when determining eligibility for benefits.

From 1984 through 1998, many relatively minorlegislative changes were made in the Social Securitydisability program. Those changes provided additionalMedicare protection for the disabled, made the defini-tion of disability for disabled widow(er)s the same asthat for disabled workers, prohibited eligibility for indi-

viduals whose drug addiction or alcoholism was a con-tributing factor to their impairment, and modified theprovisions for a trial work period.

On December 17, 1999, President Clinton signedinto law the Ticket to Work and Work IncentivesImprovement Act. The purpose of that legislation is toimprove the disability program's work incentives by giv-ing beneficiaries greater choice in seeking rehabilita-tion and employment services. The provisions of theact

• create a Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency pro-

gram that provides disabled beneficiaries with avoucher they may use to obtain vocational rehabili-tation services, employment services, and othersupport services from an employment network oftheir choice;

• prohibit the Social Security Administration from ini-tiating continuing disability reviews while the bene-ficiary is using a ticket;

• provide for expedited reinstatement of benefits forindividuals whose prior entitlement to disability andhealth care benefits had been terminated as aresult of earnings from work (those former benefi-

ciaries may request reinstatement of benefits with-out filing a new application);

• establish a community-based work incentives plan-ning and assistance program for the purpose ofproviding accurate information about work incen-tives to disabled beneficiaries;

• expand health care services by allowing the statesto offer Medicaid buy-in for workers with disabilitieseven though they may no longer be eligible for dis-

ability benefits under Social Security or SSIbecause their medical condition has improved; and

• allow people with disabilities who return to work tocontinue their premium-free Medicare Part A cov-erage for an additional 4½ years beyond the4 years previously provided. (Medicare Part B canalso continue if premiums are paid.)

Definition of Disability

The definition of disability under Social Security is dif-ferent from that used by other disability programs.Social Security pays benefits only for total disability; itdoes not pay benefits for partial disability or for short-term disability.

To be eligible for benefits a person must

• be insured for benefits,

• not have attained full retirement age,

• have filed an application for benefits, and

• have a Social Security–defined disability.

Meeting the insured requirement means that a per-son must have worked long enough—and recentlyenough—under Social Security. The number of workcredits (quarters of coverage) a person needs to qualifyfor benefits depends on the individual's age when he orshe becomes disabled.

Section 223(d)(1) of the Social Security Act definesdisability as an—

(A) inability to engage in any substantial gainful activityby reason of any medically determinable physicalor mental impairment which can be expected toresult in death or which has lasted or can beexpected to last for a continuous period of not lessthan 12 months, or

(B) in the case of an individual who has attained theage of 55 and is blind (within the meaning of blindness as defined in section 216(i)(1)), inability byreason of such blindness to engage in substantialgainful activity requiring skills or abilities compa-

rable to those of any gainful activity in which theindividual has previously engaged with some regu-larity and over a substantial period of time.

In most cases, a dollar amount is used to indicatewhether a person is engaging in substantial gainfulactivity (SGA). For 2006, the SGA amount was $860per month for a nonblind individual and $1,450 permonth for a blind person. Effective January 2001, theSGA level is adjusted annually on the basis of thenational average wage index.



Annual Statistical Report on the Social Security Disability Insurance Program, 2006 ♦ 3

A medically determinable physical or mental impairment is an impairment that results from anatomi-cal, physiological, or psychological abnormalities thatcan be shown by medically acceptable clinical and lab-oratory diagnostic techniques. An impairment must beestablished by medical evidence consisting of signs,symptoms, and laboratory findings.

Types of Benefits Available

The Social Security program pays benefits to disabledindividuals and to certain dependents. Those benefitsinclude the following:

1. Monthly cash benefits, after a 5-month waitingperiod, for a disabled worker and family. Theworker and eligible family members continue toreceive benefits, as long as the worker remains dis-abled, until the worker reaches full retirement age(at which time, the disabled-worker benefit con-verts to retired-worker benefits) or dies. (Eligible

family members would become eligible for retire-ment- or survivor-based benefits.)

The spouse of a disabled worker is eligible for ben-efits if he or she is aged 62 or older or has in his orher care a child under the age of 16 or a disabledadult child who is entitled to benefits on theworker's earnings record. Unmarried children areentitled to benefits until they reach age 18, or untilage 19 if they are a full-time elementary or second-ary school student.

2. Monthly cash benefits, after a 5-month waitingperiod, for a disabled widow(er) or a disabled

surviving divorced spouse who is aged 50 to fullretirement age, referred to in this publication as disabled widow(er)s .

3. Monthly cash benefits payable to disabled adultchildren of disabled, retired, or deceased workers.Those children must be aged 18 or older and musthave become disabled before the age of 22. The5-month waiting period does not apply to disabledadult children.

4. Medicare benefits, which are available 2 yearsafter the disabled worker, disabled widow(er), or

disabled adult child becomes eligible for benefits.5. Vocational rehabilitation services, which are

available for disabled beneficiaries who couldreturn to work if they were provided with someassistance.

Initial Disability Decisionmaking Process

The disability decisionmaking process begins when anindividual files an application for benefits at a Social

Security office. An employee in the office determines ifthe applicant meets the nonmedical requirements forbenefits such as age, work credits, performance ofSGA, and relationship to the insured worker. If thoserequirements are met, the application is sent to the Dis-ability Determination Services (DDS) office in the statewhere the applicant resides. The DDS then decideswhether an individual is disabled under Social Security

law.

Disability examiners and medical staff in the DDSoffice use medical evidence from the applicant's doc-tors, hospitals, clinics, or institutions where the individ-ual received treatment. Those medical sources arealso asked for information about a person's ability to dowork-related activities, such as walking, sitting, lifting,carrying, and remembering instructions.

The DDS may need more medical informationbefore they can decide a person's case. If it is not avail-able from the individual's current medical sources, they

may ask the applicant to go to a special examination,called a consultative examination , that is paid for by theSocial Security Administration (SSA).

A five-step sequential evaluation process is used todecide if a person is disabled. Those steps are asfollows:

1. Is the individual working? If the person is work-ing and earning more than the SGA amount, theperson generally cannot be considered disabled.This decision is made by a Social Securityemployee. If the person is not working at the SGA

level, the file goes to the DDS.

2. Is the condition "severe"? A condition must inter-fere with basic work-related activities for a claim tobe considered. If it does not, the person is notfound disabled. If it does, the DDS will go to thenext step.

3. Does the individual have an impairment that

meets or equals one that is described in SSA'sListing of Impairments? SSA maintains a list ofimpairments for 14 major body systems: muscu-loskeletal, special senses and speech, respiratory,cardiovascular, digestive, genitourinary, hemic andlymphatic, skin and subcutaneous tissue, endo-crine, multiple body, neurological, mental, neoplas-tic, and immunologic. Those impairments are sosevere that they automatically mean that a personis disabled. If the condition is not on the list, theDDS will have to decide if it is of equal severity to alisted impairment. If it is, the person is found dis-abled. If not, the DDS goes to the next step.

4. Can the individual do the work he or she previ-ously did? If the person's condition is severe but




not at the same or equal severity as an impairmenton the list, then the DDS must determine whether itinterferes with a person's ability to do his or herpast work. If it does not, the claim will be denied. Ifit does, the DDS goes to the next step.

5. Can the individual do any other type of work? To determine an individual's ability to do otherwork, the DDS considers the person's medical con-ditions, age, education, work experience, and anytransferable skills. If the DDS decides the personcannot do other work, the claim will be approved. Ifthe DDS decides that the person can do otherwork, the claim will be denied.

A person is considered blind if his or her visioncannot be corrected to better than 20/200 in the bettereye or if his or her visual field is 20 degrees or less,even with a corrective lens. A number of special rulesapply to persons who are blind. Those rules recognizethe impact of blindness on a person's ability to work.

For example, the dollar amount used to determinewhether a blind individual is engaging in SGA is higherthan the limit for a sighted person.

Appeals Process

If an applicant's claim for disability benefits is denied,he or she has the right to appeal that decision. Thereare four levels of appeals: (1) reconsideration by thestate DDS, (2) hearing by an administrative law judge(ALJ), (3) review by the Appeals Council, and (4) fed-eral court review. At each level of appeal, claimants ortheir representative must file the request for appeal inwriting within 60 days from the date of the notice ofdenial.

Generally, the reconsideration is the first step in theappeals process. The reconsideration is a case reviewand is similar to the initial determination except that thecase is assigned to a different disability examiner andmedical team at the DDS. Claimants are given theopportunity to present additional evidence, which isconsidered along with the evidence that was submittedduring the initial determination.

If the claim is again denied, the individual mayrequest a hearing before an ALJ. Usually the ALJ willhold a hearing, although the claimant may ask that hisor her case be decided on the basis of the writtenrecord without a hearing. At the hearing, the claimantand witnesses testify under oath or affirmation, and thetestimony is recorded verbatim. The ALJ, who isresponsible for looking into all the issues, receives doc-umentary evidence as well as the testimony of wit-nesses. The ALJ will allow the claimant, the claimant's

representative, or both to present arguments andexamine witnesses.

The final step in the administrative appeals processis at the Appeals Council. If the claimant is dissatisfiedwith the hearing decision, he or she may request thatthe Appeals Council review the case. The council,made up of administrative appeals judges, may also,

on its own motion, review a decision within 60 days ofthe ALJ's decision.

The Appeals Council considers the evidence ofrecord, any additional evidence submitted by the claim-ant, and the ALJ's findings and conclusions. The coun-cil may grant, deny, or dismiss a request for review. If itagrees to review the case, the council may uphold,modify, or reverse the ALJ's action, or it may remand itto the ALJ so that he or she may hold another hearingand issue a new decision.

Claimants may file an action in a federal district

court within 60 days after the date they receive noticeof the Appeals Council's action. If the U.S. DistrictCourt reviews the case record and does not find infavor of the claimant, the claimant can continue with theappellate process to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Benefit Calculations

In addition to meeting the strict medical definition ofdisability, an individual must also meet an insured-status requirement. To be eligible for disabled-workerbenefits, a person must have worked long enough and

recently enough under Social Security. A person canearn up to four work credits per year. The amount ofearnings required for a credit increases each year asgeneral wage levels rise.

The number of work credits a person needs for dis-ability benefits depends on the individual's age whenhe or she becomes disabled. To be fully insured, themaximum number of credits a person needs is 40. Tobe currently insured, a person generally needs 20credits earned in the last 10 years ending with the yearhe or she becomes disabled. However, younger work-ers may qualify with fewer credits.

Dependents of a disabled worker are eligible forbenefits if the worker meets both the medical andinsured-status requirements. Disabled widow(er)s anddisabled adult children do not need to meet a workrequirement themselves, but the worker on whoserecord they are filing must be insured.

To determine the amount of a person's monthlycash benefit, SSA uses the following four-step process:




1. Calculate each worker's average indexedmonthly earnings (AIME). First, the worker'sannual covered earnings after 1950 are indexed toreflect the general earnings level in the indexingyear—the second calendar year before the year ofeligibility (that is, the year a worker becomes dis-abled). Earnings in years after the indexing yearare not indexed but instead are counted at their

actual value.

The period used to calculate the AIME equals thenumber of full calendar years elapsing betweenage 21 and the year of first eligibility. The actualyears used in the computation are the years ofhighest earnings minus dropout years equal toone-fifth of the number of elapsed years rounded tothe next lower integer (to a maximum of 5 dropoutyears). However, the number of years of earningsused is at least 2. Effective for initial entitlement

after June 1980.

Disabled workers who receive fewer than 3 dropout

years under the one-fifth rule may be credited withadditional dropout years based on child care, up toa total of 3 dropout years. (To receive this credit, aworker must have had no earnings in that year andmust have been living with a child under age 3.)However, the number of years of earnings used isat least 2. Effective for July 1981.

The AIME is calculated as the sum of the highestyear's earnings, divided by the number of monthsin the computation period.

2. Compute the primary insurance amount (PIA).

The formula used to compute the PIA from theAIME is weighted to provide a higher PIA-to-AIMEratio for workers with low earnings. For workerswho become disabled in 2006, the PIA is equal tothe sum of:

90 percent of the first $656 of AIME, plus32 percent of the next $3,299 of AIME, plus15 percent of AIME over $3,955.

When subsequent retirement benefits are com-puted at conversion to retired-worker benefits atthe full retirement age (FRA), or at retirement for aworker who earlier recovered from a disability, the

years of disability are disregarded from the PIA cal-culation. That preserves insured status and benefitlevel.

Alternative methods of computing the PIA apply toworkers who have low earnings but a steady workhistory over most of their adult years and to work-ers who also receive a pension based on their ownnoncovered work.

3. Compute the family maximum (FMAX). Monthlybenefits payable to the worker and family members

or to the worker's survivors are limited to a maxi-mum family benefit amount. The family maximumlevel for retired-worker families or survivors usuallyranges from 150 percent to 188 percent of theworker's PIA. The maximum benefit for disabled-worker families ranges from the smaller of 85 per-cent of AIME (or 100 percent of the PIA, if larger) toabout 150 percent of the PIA.

Beginning with the first year of eligibility, the PIAand FMAX are increased by cost-of-living adjust-ments.

4. Compute the person's monthly benefit amount

(MBA). Disabled workers and persons retiring atthe FRA are paid 100 percent of the PIA. The PIAis reduced for workers who retire between the ageof 62 and the FRA. If a disabled worker receivesreduced retirement benefits before disability entitle-ment, the disability benefit is reduced by the num-ber of months for which he or she received reducedretirement benefits.

Dependents of retired or disabled workers mayreceive up to 50 percent of the PIA. Disabled adultchildren of deceased workers may receive up to75 percent of the PIA.

Disabled widow(er)s aged 50–60 may receive up to71.5 percent of the PIA. Disabled widow(er)saged 60 to the FRA may receive up to 100 percentof the PIA, but benefits are reduced for age, with amaximum reduction of 28.5 percent.

All monthly benefits are limited by the family maxi-mum, so dependents may not receive their full

MBA.

Benefits Offset and Withheld

Disabled-worker and dependents’ benefits may be off-set if the disabled worker receives workers' compensa-tion (WC) or other public disability benefits (PDB). TheSocial Security Amendments of 1965 require that ben-efits be reduced when the worker is also eligible forperiodic or lump-sum WC/PDB payments, so that thecombined amounts of the disabled worker's and fam-ily's Social Security benefits plus the WC/PDB payment

do not exceed 80 percent of the worker's average cur-rent earnings. The combined payments after reductionare never less than what the total Social Security bene-fits were before reduction. The reduction continuesuntil the month the worker reaches age 65 or the monththe WC/PDB payment stops, whichever comes first.

If a spouse or disabled widow(er) worked for a fed-eral, state, or local government to which he or she didnot pay Social Security taxes, the pension he or shereceives from that agency may reduce his or her Social




Security benefits. That provision is known as thegovernment pension offset . The offset will reduce theamount of the Social Security benefit by two-thirds ofthe amount of the government pension.

The annual earnings test applies to nondisabledbeneficiaries under the FRA. Benefits for those benefi-ciaries are withheld $1 for every $2 they earn above the

annual earnings limit. In the calendar year a benefi-ciary attains the FRA, for months before the FRA, $1 iswithheld for every $3 earned over the annual earningslimit for that age group. A retired worker's earnings willalso affect his or her dependents' benefits, includingthose of disabled adult children. In addition, a spouse'searnings may affect benefits for his or her children.(How a disabled beneficiary's work affects his or herbenefit is discussed in the next section.)

Other reasons for withholding benefits includespouses who no longer have an entitled child in theircare, beneficiaries who are incarcerated, or benefi-

ciaries whose whereabouts are unknown.

Work Incentives

Special rules make it possible for disabled beneficiariesto work and still receive monthly benefits and Medicareor Medicaid. Those rules are known as work incentives .

Disabled beneficiaries are encouraged to return towork by providing a trial work period (TWP) and anextended period of eligibility (EPE). During the TWP,earnings are allowed to exceed the SGA dollar amount

for 9 months. During the 3-year EPE that follows theTWP, benefits are withheld only for those months inwhich earnings exceed the SGA amount. After the endof the EPE, monthly benefits are terminated whenearnings exceed the SGA amount. Certain impairment-related expenses that a person needs to make in orderto work may be deducted when counting earnings todetermine whether the work is substantial. Even if cashbenefits are withheld, Medicare and Medicaid coveragecan continue.

The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improve-ment Act has further improved work incentives. That

law substantially expands work opportunities for peoplewith disabilities. The provisions of the law becomeeffective at different times in different parts of the coun-try. The provisions below apply to Social Security andSSI.

1. Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program.Starting in 2002, some Social Security and SSI dis-ability beneficiaries received a "ticket" that theymay use to obtain vocational rehabilitation andother employment-support services from an

approved provider of their choice. The program isvoluntary and will be phased in nationally over a3-year period.

2. Expanded Availability of Health Care Services.As of October 1, 2000, the law expands Medicaidand Medicare coverage to more people with dis-abilities who work. It extends Medicare Part Apremium-free coverage for 93 months after the trialwork period for most disabled beneficiaries whowork.

In addition, states now have the option to expandMedicaid coverage to workers with disabilitiesusing income and resource limits set by the states.

3. Expedited Benefits. Effective January 1, 2001, if aperson's Social Security or SSI disability benefitshave ended because of earnings from work and ifhe or she becomes unable to work again within60 months because of his or her medical condition,the person would be able to request reinstatement

of benefits, including Medicare and Medicaid, with-out filing a new application.

4. Disability Reviews Postponed. EffectiveJanuary 1, 2001, an individual using a "ticket" doesnot need to undergo the regularly scheduled dis-ability reviews. Effective January 1, 2002, peoplewho have been receiving Social Security disabilitybenefits for at least 24 months will not be asked togo through a disability review because of the workthey are doing. However, regularly scheduled med-ical reviews could still be performed and benefitscould be terminated if earnings were above the

limits.5. Work Incentives Outreach Program. The law

directs the Social Security Administration to estab-lish a community-based work incentives planningand assistance program to disseminate accurateinformation about work incentives and to give ben-eficiaries more choice. SSA has established a pro-gram of cooperative agreements and contracts toprovide benefits planning and assistance to all dis-abled beneficiaries, including information about theavailability of protection and advocacy services.

6. Protection and Advocacy. The law authorizes

SSA to make payments to protection and advocacysystems established in each state to provide infor-mation, advice, and legal services to disabilitybeneficiaries.

Benefit Termination

In general, benefits continue as long as a personremains disabled. However, under Social Security law,all disability cases must be reviewed from time to timeto make sure that people receiving benefits continue tomeet the disability requirements. Benefits continueunless there is strong proof that a person's impairment

has medically improved and that he or she is able toreturn to work.

How often a case is reviewed depends on theseverity of the impairment and the likelihood ofimprovement. The frequency can range from 6 monthsto 7 years. Here are general guidelines for reviews.

• Improvement expected—If medical improvementcan be predicted when benefits start, the firstreview will be 6 to 18 months later.

• Improvement possible—If medical improvementis possible but cannot be predicted, the case will bereviewed about every 3 years.

• Improvement not expected—If medical improve-ment is not l ikely, the case will be reviewed aboutonce every 5 to 7 years.

During a review, the disabled beneficiary is askedto provide information about any medical treatment heor she has received and any work he or she might havedone. An evaluation team, which includes a disabilityexaminer and a doctor, then requests the individual'smedical records and carefully reviews his or her file. Ifthe team decides a person is still disabled, benefits will

continue. If they decide that the person is no longer dis-abled, the individual can file an appeal if he or she dis-agrees with the determination. Otherwise, benefits stop3 months after the beneficiary is notified that his or herdisability ended.

Benefits for dependents continue as long as thedisabled worker continues to be entitled to benefits.However, a person's benefits may be terminated forother reasons. The most common reasons to terminatebenefits are the following:

• The beneficiary dies. If the deceased was theworker, eligible dependents may become entitled tosurvivors' benefits.

• The disabled worker or disabled widow(er) attainsthe FRA, and their benefit is automatically con-verted to retired-worker benefits or agedwidow(er)s benefits, respectively.

• The disabled beneficiary is no longer disabledbecause of medical recovery or successful reentryto the workforce.

• A spouse and worker divorce (with some excep-tions).

• Certain divorced spouses remarry.

• A spouse no longer has a child under the age of 16or a disabled child in his or her care.

• A child reaches age 18.

• A student reaches age 19 or is no longer attendingelementary or secondary school full time.

• Dependent children marry.

• Dependents become entitled to another equal orlarger benefit.

Benefits usually stop effective with the month the

terminating event occurred.





Beneficiaries in Current-

Payment Status







Chart 1.All Social Security disabled beneficiaries in current-payment status, December 2006

In December 2006, about 7.8 million people received Social Security disability benefits as disabled workers,disabled widow(er)s, or disabled adult children. The majority (87 percent) were disabled workers, 10 percent weredisabled adult children, and 3 percent were disabled widow(er)s.

The number of disabled workers grew steadily until 1978, declined slightly until 1983, started to increase again in1984, and began to increase more rapidly beginning in 1990. The growth in the 1980s and 1990s was the result ofdemographic changes, a recession, and legislative changes. The number of disabled adult children has grownslightly, and the number of disabled widow(er)s has remained fairly level. In December 2006, more than 6.8 milliondisabled workers, nearly 777,000 disabled adult children, and just over 220,000 disabled widow(er)s received

disability benefits.

Disabled beneficiaries aged 18–64 in current-payment status accounted for about 3.9 percent of the populationaged 18–64 in the United States. In 6 states and the District of Columbia, they represented less than 3 percent ofthe state population. The states with the highest rates of disabled beneficiaries—5 percent or more—wereAlabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina,

The percentage of disabled-worker beneficiaries increases with age for both men and women. In December 2006,the largest percentage of disabled-worker beneficiaries was aged 60–64. Disability benefits convert to retirementbenefits when the worker reaches full retirement age, 65–67, depending on the year of birth.

Chart 5.Average monthly benefit of disabled beneficiaries in current-payment status, by sex, December 2006

The average monthly benefit for disabled-worker beneficiaries is higher than that paid to disabled widow(er)s ordisabled adult children. The reason for the difference is that disabled workers receive 100 percent of the primaryinsurance amount (PIA), compared with 71.5 percent for disabled widow(er)s and 50 percent for disabled adult chil-dren (if the worker is disabled or retired) or 75 percent (if the worker is deceased).

Because men have traditionally had higher earnings than women, their monthly benefit is higher. This is mostobvious in the disabled-worker group. Benefits for disabled widow(er)s and disabled adult children are dependents'benefits, so their monthly benefit is a function of the worker's earnings. Therefore, a disabled widow's averagebenefit tends to be higher than that of a disabled widower because a male worker's earnings are higher than afemale worker's. Benefit amounts are about the same for men and women in the disabled adult children group.

Chart 6.Disabled beneficiaries in current-payment status, by diagnostic group, December 2006

The impairment on which disability is based varies with the type of beneficiary. In December 2006, a mental dis-order other than retardation was the primary reason disabled workers received benefits; diseases of the muscu-loskeletal system and connective tissue were the leading cause of disability among disabled widow(er)s; andmental retardation was the predominant reason for disability among disabled adult children.

Beneficiaries Who Have Filed

for Workers’ Compensation

or Public Disability Benefits



Note

In December 2006, approximately 585,000 disabled workers on the Social Security Disability Insurance programhad filed for workers' compensation or public disability benefits. Disability payments from private sources, such asprivate pension or insurance benefits, do not affect Social Security disability benefits, but workers' compensationand other public disability benefits may reduce them. Workers' compensation is paid to a worker because of a job-related injury or illness. It may be paid by federal or state workers' compensation agencies or employers or byinsurance companies on behalf of employers.

Other public disability benefits that may affect Social Security disability benefits are those paid by a federal,state, or local government for disabling medical conditions that are not job related. Examples are civil service dis-ability benefits, military disability benefits, state temporary disability benefits, and state or local government retire-ment benefits that are based on disability. Persons who receive Social Security disability benefits and one of thefollowing types of public benefits will not have their Social Security disability benefit reduced:

• Veterans Administration benefits;

• State and local government benefits, if Social Security taxes were deducted from earnings; or

• Supplemental Security Income.

The total amount received from workers' compensation or other public disability benefits and Social Security

disability benefits cannot exceed 80 percent of the worker's average current earnings before he or she became dis-abled. The monthly Social Security disability benefit includes benefits payable to family members. If the totalamount of these benefits exceeds 80 percent of average current earnings, the excess amount is deducted from theSocial Security benefit. The benefit will be reduced until the month the worker reaches age 65 or the month theother benefits stop, whichever comes first.

Example

Before becoming disabled, the worker's average current earnings were $4,000 a month. The disabled worker,his or her spouse, and their two children would be eligible to receive a total of $2,200 a month in Social Secu-rity disability benefits. However, the disabled worker also receives $2,000 a month from workers' compensa-

tion. Because the total amount of benefits received ($4,200) is more than $3,200 (80 percent of averagecurrent earnings), the family's Social Security disability benefits will be reduced by $1,000.



Beneficiaries Who Have Filed for Workers’ Compensation or Public Disability Benefits


Chart 7.Distribution of workers, by diagnostic group and sex, December 2006

Among disabled workers who are also receiving workers' compensation or public disability benefits, a disease ofthe musculoskeletal system and connective tissue was the primary diagnosis in December 2006. Mental disorderswere the second leading disabling condition. A disorder of the nervous system and sense organs was the thirdmost common disability for women. Injuries were the third most common disability for men. All other impairmentswere fairly evenly split between men and women.

Chart 8.Social Security disability awards, 1980–2006

The total number of awards decreased from 1980 through 1982, started to rise in 1983, and began to increasemore rapidly in 1990. Awards for disabled-worker benefits have been most pronounced and drive the overall pat-tern shown in the total line. They increased from a low of 297,131 in 1982 to 636,637 in 1992, were relatively flatfrom 1992 through 2000, and started to increase again in 2001. There were 798,675 worker awards in 2006. Otherawards have risen at a much slower rate. Awards to disabled adult children have gradually increased from 33,470

in 1980 to 58,519 in 2006. Awards to disabled widow(er)s have risen from just over 16,000 in 1980 to28,682 in 2006.

Chart 9.Average monthly benefit awards, by sex, 2006

The average monthly benefit awarded to disabled workers is higher than that awarded to disabled widow(er)s ordisabled adult children. The reason for the difference is that disabled workers receive 100 percent of the primaryinsurance amount, compared with 71.5 percent for disabled widow(er)s and 50 percent for disabled adult children(if the worker is disabled or retired) or 75 percent (if the worker is deceased).

Because men have traditionally had higher earnings than women, their monthly benefit is higher. This is mostobvious in the disabled-worker group. Benefits for disabled widow(er)s and disabled adult children are dependents'benefits, so their monthly benefit is a function of the worker's earnings. Therefore, a disabled widow's averagebenefit tends to be higher than that of a disabled widower because a male worker's earnings are higher than afemale worker's. Benefit amounts are about the same for men and women in the disabled adult children group.

are potentially eligible for Social Security disability benefits because of earnings while receiving SSI. Many of these claims awarded since

Each year this file is updated with information about applications for disability benefits that is then used to determine theoutcome of those applications. The outcome data in these tables are reported by year of filing and include decisions madethrough the administrative appeals process.

Table 58 shows the total number of applications filed in a year, the number denied for nonmedical reasons before a medicaldecision is made (technical denials ), the number that are pending a final decision, the outcome of applications for which a med-ical allowance or denial was made, and award and allowance rates. Applications for which a medical allowance or denial deci-sion was made but which were subsequently denied for nonmedical reasons are shown under the medical decision header assubsequent denials . The most common nonmedical reason for denying a claim is insufficient number of recent work credits.

The allowance rate is calculated by dividing the number of medical allowances (including subsequent technical denials) bythe total number of medical decisions made for a 1-year cohort. The award rate is a broader program measure that is calculatedas the number of allowances minus subsequent denials divided by total applications (minus pending claims) filed for a givenyear.

Claims that remain pending after 6 years are probably the result of imperfect data rather than excessive delays in thedecisionmaking process. It is highly probable that decisions have been rendered on most of the older claims. For more recentyears, the award and allowance rates will change as decisions are made on pending claims.

Tables 59–61 show the allowance rate for Social Security only and the Social Security portion of concurrent applications (which are claims for both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability benefits). Each table shows a differentlevel in the administrative decisionmaking process, that is, initial adjudicative, reconsideration, and hearing or higher level.

Beginning with 2000, the proportion of claims awarded at each level of the process changed as a result of the PrototypeProcess being tested in 10 states. Under this test, the reconsideration step of the appeals process was eliminated for applica-tions filed October 1, 1999, or later. Elimination of the reconsideration level in these states results in a decrease in the aggregateproportion of claims awarded at this step.

This section also includes one table that shows the reason for medical allowance and one that shows the reason for medi-cal denial (Tables 62 and 63). The reasons are derived from the sequential evaluation process used by decisionmakers. SSAmaintains a list of impairments that are considered disabling under its regulations. An applicant can be found to be disabled if heor she

• has a listed impairment,

• has a severe impairment that is equal to a listed impairment,

• has a severe impairment when medical and vocational factors are considered, or

• had previously established entitlement to a disability benefit.

An applicant can be denied benefits if he or she

• has an impairment that is not expected to last 12 months,

• has an impairment that is not considered severe,

• is able to perform his or her usual type of work,

• is able to perform another type of work, or

• has an impairment resulting from drug addiction or alcoholism, provides insufficient medical evidence, fails to cooperate,fails to follow prescribed treatment, does not want to continue development of the claim, or returns to substantial workbefore disability can be established.



Outcomes of Applications for Disability Benefits


Chart 11.Final outcome of disabled-worker applications, 1996–2005

The final award rate for disabled-worker applicants has varied over time, averaging nearly 48 percent for claimsfiled from 1996 through 2005. The percentage of applicants awarded benefits at the initial claims level averaged31 percent over the same period and ranged from a high of about 35 percent to a low of 25 percent. The percent-age of applicants awarded at the reconsideration and hearing levels are relatively constant, averaging 4 percentand 13 percent, respectively. Denied disability claims have averaged about 49 percent.

SOURCE: Tables 58–63.

NOTES: Awards are calculated as medical allowances minus subsequent technical denials. Technical denials include both nonmedical decisiontechnical denials and medical decisions that were subsequently denied for technical reasons.

The proportion of claims awarded at each level of the process is likely to change as a result of the Prototype Process being tested in 10 states.Under this test, the reconsideration step of the appeals process was eliminated for applications filed October 1, 1999, or later. Elimination of the

reconsideration level in these states is likely to result in a decrease in the overall proportion of claims awarded at this step.

Rate determined by dividing awards by all applications minus pending claims for that year.

Rate determined by dividing medical allowances by all medical decisions for that year.

CONTACT: Clark Pickett (410) 965-9016 or [email protected].

Because a number of applications remain pending for more recent years, the award and allowance rates will change over time. Cases

can be pending at the initial or appellate levels and can include either medical or technical issues.

Data from 1992 to 1998 are available for disabled workers only.

Applications were denied for nonmedical reasons; therefore no decision was made on severity of impairment.

Sampling Variability

Estimates based on sample data may differ from thefigures that would have been obtained had all, ratherthan specified samples, of the records been used.These differences are termed sampling variability. The

standard error is a measure of the sampling variability.About 68 percent of all possible probability samplesselected with the same specifications will give esti-mates within one standard error of the figure obtainedfrom a compilation of all records. Similarly, approxi-mately 90 percent will give estimates within 1.645 stan-dard errors, about 95 percent will give estimates withintwo standard errors, and about 99 percent will give esti-mates within two and one-half standard errors. Thestandard error of an estimate depends on the designelements such as the method of sampling, samplesize, and the estimation process.

Because of the large number of data cells tabu-lated from the sample files, it is not practical to calcu-late the standard error for every possible cell. However,standard errors for a large number of cells were esti-mated. These estimates were used to fit regressioncurves to provide estimates of approximate standarderrors associated with tabulated counts and propor-tions.

The tables showing the sampling variability providea general order of magnitude for similar estimates fromthe various sample fi les. Table A-1 presents approxi-mate standard errors for the estimated number of per-sons from the 1 percent and the 10 percent files. Thereliability of an estimated percentage depends on boththe size of the percentage and on the size of the totalon which the percentage is based. Data in Table A-2provide approximations of the standard errors of theestimated percentage of persons in the 1 percent and10 percent files. The standard errors are expressed inpercentage points and the bases shown are in terms ofinflated data.

Glossary

administrative law judge (ALJ). An official of the Social SecurityAdministration's (SSA's) Office of Hearings and Appeals who is specially qualified byeducation and experience to hold hearings and make independent decisions regard-ing eligibility for SSA programs on the basis of all evidence and testimony. ALJs con-duct impartial hearings and issue decisions to claimants who have appealed previousdeterminations by SSA. See also administrative review process.

administrative review process. The procedures followed by the Social Security Adminis-tration (SSA) in determining one's rights under title II and title XVI of the Social Secu-rity Act. The administrative review process consists of several steps, which mustusually be requested in the following order within certain time periods: initial determi-nation, reconsideration, decision of the administrative law judge, and a review bySSA's Appeals Council.

age. In tables showing beneficiaries in current-payment status, the age classification isbased on the beneficiary's current age. In tables showing awards, age is the benefi-ciary's age in the month of award.

allowance. A determination by the Disability Determination Services, an administrativelaw judge, or the Appeals Council that an applicant meets the medical definition of dis-

ability under the law. See also disability.allowance rate. The percentage of allowed disability applications in a given time period

calculated as the number of medically allowed applications divided by the total num-ber of applications with a medical decision. At the hearing level, allowance rates arecomputed either as a percentage of dispositions (including dismissals) or as a per-centage of decisions (excluding dismissals). In this publication, hearing level allow-ance rates are computed as a percentage of dispositions. An allowance rate providesa narrower view of the disability program than does an award rate because it excludesnonmedical determinations from its base.

Appeals Council. The organization within the Social Security Administration's Office ofHearings and Appeals that makes the final decision in the administrative review pro-cess. See also administrative review process.

auxiliary benefit. A monthly benefit payable to a spouse or child of a retired or disabledworker (dependents benefit) or to a survivor of a deceased worker (survivors benefit).

average. See mean.

average current earnings. Earnings used to determine whether the workers' compensa-tion or public disability benefit offset applies. Average current earnings are defined asthe highest of the following:

• The average monthly earnings used to figure a person's Social Security disabilitybenefit.

• The average monthly earnings from any work covered by Social Security that aperson did (including self-employment) during the 5 highest consecutive years

after 1950.• The average monthly earnings from work or self-employment during the year a

person became disabled or in the highest year of earnings that a person had dur-ing the 5-year period just before that person became disabled. (Divide the totalyear's earnings by 12 to get the average current earnings.)

All earnings covered by Social Security, including amounts above the maximum tax-able by Social Security, may be used when figuring average current earnings. Seealso workers' compensation and public disability benefit offset.




average indexed monthly earnings (AIME). The amount of earnings used in determin-ing the primary insurance amount (PIA) for most workers who attain age 62, becomedisabled, or die after 1978. A worker's actual past earnings are adjusted by changes inthe average wage index to bring them up to their approximately equivalent value at thetime of eligibility for benefits. If the person attained age 62, became disabled, or diedbefore 1979, the average monthly wage is used to calculate the PIA. See also pri-

mary insurance amount.

average monthly wage (AMW). The dollar amount used in calculating a person's monthlyprimary insurance amount (PIA) if that person attained age 62, became disabled, ordied before 1979. The AMW is determined by dividing the total earnings in the "com-putation years" by the number of months in those same years. If the person attainedage 62, became disabled or died after 1978, average indexed monthly earnings areused to calculate the PIA. See also primary insurance amount.

average wage index. The average amount of total wages for each year after 1950, includ-ing wages in noncovered employment and wages in covered employment in excess ofthe Social Security contribution and benefit base. Those average yearly amounts areused to index the earnings of most workers who first become eligible for benefits in1979 or later and to make automatic adjustments in the contribution and benefit base,bend points, earnings test exempt amounts, and other wage-indexed amounts.

award. An administrative determination that an individual is entitled to receive monthlybenefits or a lump-sum death payment. Awards can represent not only new entrants tothe benefit rolls but also persons already on the rolls who become entitled to a differ-ent type of benefit. See conversion of benefits.

award rate. The percentage of awarded applications in a given time period calculated asthe number of awarded applications divided by the total number of applicationsdecided, including technical denials and dismissals. An award rate provides a broaderview of the program than does an allowance rate because an award rate includes asits base all applications decided.

bend points. The dollar amounts defining the average indexed monthly earnings or pri-mary insurance amount brackets in the benefit formulas. See also average indexedmonthly earnings and primary insurance amount.

beneficiary. A person who is entitled to either Social Security or Supplemental SecurityIncome benefits. The Social Security benefit may be either in current-payment statusor withheld.

benefits in force. The sum of the number of persons with benefits in current-paymentstatus and the number of persons with benefits withheld.

benefit termination. See termination.

benefits withheld. See withholding.

blind. Blindness, for Social Security purposes, means either central visual acuity of20/200 or less in the better eye with the use of a correcting lens, or a limitation in thefields of vision so that the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle of

20 degrees or less (tunnel vision).child's benefit. A monthly benefit payable to the children of a retired or disabled worker or

of a deceased worker who died either fully or currently insured. Benefits are payable tounmarried children under age 18 (up to age 19 if attending elementary or secondaryschool full time) and to disabled children aged 18 or older who became disabledbefore age 22. Under certain circumstances, benefits can be paid to stepchildren,grandchildren, or adopted children. Benefits for disabled children may be continued ifthey marry certain other Social Security beneficiaries.




closed period award. An administrative determination that an individual is entitled toreceive benefits for a limited period of time. The determination is usually made afterthe period of entitlement has ended.

cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). The annual increases in benefits, effective forDecember, reflecting the increase in the cost of living. The benefit increase equals thepercentage increase in the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clericalworkers (CPI-W) measured from the average over July, August, and September of thepreceding year to the average for the same 3 months in the current year. If theincrease is less than one-tenth of 1 percent, when rounded, there is no automaticincrease for the current year; the increase for the next year would reflect the increasein the cost of living over a 2-year period. Also see consumer price index.

concurrent claim. A claim for both Title II (Social Security) and Title XVI (SupplementalSecurity Income) benefits.

consumer price index (CPI). A measure of the average change in prices over time for afixed group of goods and services; also considered a relative measure of inflation. TheCPI-U is the price index for all urban consumers. The CPI-W is the price index forurban wage earners and clerical workers. In this report, all references to the CPI referto the CPI-W.

continuing disability review (CDR). A periodic review to determine if a disabled individ-

ual is still medically eligible to receive benefits.

conversion of benefits. An award of benefits to persons already on the rolls whose ben-efits in one category are terminated but who become entitled to another type of bene-fit. Two frequent events causing conversions are the attainment of full retirement ageby a disabled worker or a disabled widow(er) and the death of a retired or disabledworker. See also award.

covered earnings and employment. All wages and self-employment income creditablefor Social Security purposes. Most employment and self-employment is covered underthe program. In a few situations, the employer elects coverage, for example, religiousorders under a vow of poverty, foreign affiliates of U.S. employers, or state and localgovernments. Since July 1991, coverage is mandatory for state and local employees

who are not participating in a public employee retirement system.current payment. Benefits paid for a given month, with or without deductions (provided

the deductions are less than a full month's benefit). The amounts shown are beforethe deduction of Medicare Part B (Supplementary Medical Insurance) premiums. Ben-efits in current-payment status at the end of a month are usually payable the followingmonth.

dependents benefit. See auxiliary benefit.

diagnostic group. Classification of impairments, by body system, that identifies the medi-cal condition(s) on which disability-related benefits are based. Before 1985, the codingof the primary and secondary diagnoses for Social Security and SupplementalSecurity Income claimants was in accordance with the International Classification of

Diseases: 9th Revision, Clinical Modification, 4th ed., using 4-digit ICD-9 codes. In1985, the Social Security Administration (SSA) implemented a revised method todetermine and enter impairment codes in administrative records. This revisedapproach provides for a modified impairment coding system, generally using 3 digits(followed by zero), loosely based on the ICD-9 codes. For research purposes, theICD-9 codes and SSA impairment codes are, typically, not identical. However, thediagnostic groupings shown in the statistical tables closely parallel the major ICD-9disease classifications. See also Listing of Impairments.




disability. The inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of anymedically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to resultin death or to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. (Special rulesapply for workers aged 55 or older whose disability is based on blindness. The12-month requirement does not apply to SSI beneficiaries who are blind.)

Individuals are considered to be disabled only if their physical or mental impairment(s)are of such severity that they are not only unable to do their previous work butcannot—because of their age, education, or work experience—engage in any otherkind of substantial gainful activity that exists in the national economy, regardless ofwhether such work exists in the immediate area in which they live, or whether aspecific job vacancy exists for them, or whether they would be hired if they applied forwork.

The SGA criterion does not apply to children under age 18 in the SupplementalSecurity Income program. The standard for them is a medically determinable physicalor mental impairment that results in marked and severe functional limitations.

Disability Determination Services (DDS). The state agency responsible for developingmedical evidence and rendering the initial determination and reconsideration onwhether a claimant is disabled or a beneficiary continues to be disabled within themeaning of the law.

Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund. See trust funds.

disabled adult child. A disabled person aged 18 or older—a son, daughter, or eligiblegrandchild of a retired, deceased, or disabled worker—whose disability began beforeage 22.

disabled adult child's benefit. A monthly benefit payable to a disabled adult child.

disabled widow(er)s benefit. See widow(er)s benefit.

disabled-worker benefit. A monthly benefit payable to a disabled worker who has notreached full retirement age and who is insured for disability. Before November 1960,disability benefits were limited to disabled workers aged 50 to 64.

drug addiction and alcoholism (DA&A). Conditions that, if determined a contributing

factor material to the determination of disability, will prevent entitlement to disabilitybenefits or mandate removal of persons from the program rolls.

dual entitlement. The entitlement of a beneficiary to both a worker (primary) benefit anda higher secondary benefit. The primary benefit is paid in full, but the secondary ben-efit is paid only in the amount by which it exceeds the primary benefit. If the two bene-fits are financed from the same trust fund, the beneficiary is usually represented onlyonce in the statistics—as a retired-worker or a disabled-worker beneficiary—and thebenefit amount recorded is the larger amount associated with the secondary benefit. Ifthe benefits are paid from different trust funds, then the beneficiary is representedtwice, with the respective benefit amounts recorded for each type of benefit.

duration. A factor in the determination of disability. To be eligible for benefits, a claimantmust have a disability that has lasted, or is expected to last, at least 12 months or isexpected to end in death. See also sequential evaluation process.

earnings test. The provision requiring the withholding of benefits if nondisabled beneficia-ries under full retirement age have earnings in excess of certain exempt amounts.

entitlement. The state of meeting the applicable requirements for receipt of benefits,including the filing of an application. An entitlement can be retroactive to before themonth of application for benefits and, thus, precede the date of award. The retroactiveperiod can be 12 months for disabled workers, their spouses and children, and dis-abled widow(er)s. The maximum retroactive period for other types of beneficiaries is6 months.




equals listing. A determination that a medical condition is equal in severity to the criteriain the Listing of Impairments.

expedited appeals process. This process permits an individual to go directly to a federaldistrict court after review of the initial determination without first completing the admin-istrative review process, if the only dispute is whether an applicable provision of theSocial Security Act is constitutional. See also administrative review process.

expedited reinstatement of benefits. A provision of the Ticket to Work and Work Incen-

tives Improvement Act. Effective January 1, 2001, if a person's Social Security or SSIdisability benefits have ended because of earnings from work and he or she becomesunable to work again within 60 months because of his or her impairment, he or shewould be able to request reinstatement of benefits, including Medicare and Medicaid,without filing a new application.

extended period of eligibility (EPE). The 36-month period after the completion of a trialwork period for beneficiaries who continue to have a disabling condition and work.Monthly benefits are continued for 3 months after the trial work period and are thensuspended if earnings are above the substantial gainful activity level. If earnings dropbelow the substantial gainful activity level during the EPE, monthly benefits may beresumed without a new application and disability determination. Medicare coveragecontinues throughout the EPE. See also trial work period and substantial gainful

activity.father's benefit. A monthly benefit payable to a widower or surviving divorced father if

(1) the deceased worker on whose earnings record the benefit is paid was either fullyor currently insured at the time of her death and (2) an entitled child of the worker is inhis care and is under the age of 16 or disabled.

federal court review. When an individual disagrees with the Social Security Administra-tion's final decision, he or she may request judicial review by filing a civil action in afederal district court. See also administrative review process.

federally administered Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Federal SSI paymentsand state supplementation payments issued by the Social Security Administration onbehalf of states. (This report does not cover state supplementation payments that are

state administered.)full retirement age (FRA). The age at which a person may first become entitled to unre-

duced retirement benefits. Beginning in 2000, the FRA for a worker or spouse born in1938 or later, or a widow(er) born in 1940 or later, will gradually increase from age 65until it reaches age 67 in 2022. The higher FRA affects the benefit amount of personswho choose to receive reduced benefits. Also known as the normal retirementage (NRA).

government pension offset (GPO). A law that affects spouse's or widow(er)s benefits.Benefits are subject to reduction by any government pensions payable to the spouseon the basis of his or her own earnings in noncovered employment. The offsetreduces the Social Security benefit amount by two-thirds of the amount of the govern-ment pension.

hearing. The level following reconsideration in the administrative review process. Thehearing is a de novo procedure at which the claimant, the claimant's representative, orboth may appear in person, submit new evidence, examine the evidence used in mak-ing the determination under review, give testimony, and present and question wit-nesses. The hearing is on the record but is informal and nonadversarial.

Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund. See trust funds.

husband's benefit. A monthly benefit payable to a husband or a divorced husband(aged 62 or older) of a retired or disabled worker. Also see spouse's benefit.




impairment-related work expense (IRWE). The costs of items or services that a dis-abled person needs to work. The expenses, when paid by the beneficiary, arededucted from his or her gross earnings when determining if the work is consideredsubstantial gainful activity.

initial determination. The first decision made in determining eligibility for, and entitlementto, benefits. A Social Security field office employee makes the decision on nonmedicalfactors such as insured status, substantial gainful activity, income, and resources. Ifthe nonmedical factors are met, a state Disability Determination Services employeemakes the decision on the medical factors. See also administrative review process.

insured status. The state or condition of having sufficient quarters of coverage to meetthe eligibility requirements for retired-worker or disabled-worker benefits or to permitthe worker's spouse and children or survivors to establish eligibility for benefits in theevent of the beneficiary's disability, retirement, or death. See also quarters ofcoverage.

Listing of Impairments. Issued by the Social Security Administration and used to identifymedical conditions for purposes of determining disability. See also diagnostic group.

Master Beneficiary Record (MBR). The MBR contains the data needed to administer theSocial Security benefit program. The MBR contains a record for each person who(1) is currently entitled to benefits, (2) is no longer receiving benefits but received

them in the past, or (3) filed a claim for benefits but was denied (though the personmay be appealing that decision).

maximum family benefit. The maximum monthly amount that can be paid on a worker'searnings record. Whenever the total of the individual monthly benefits payable to allthe beneficiaries entitled on one earnings record exceeds the maximum, each depen-dents or survivors benefit is proportionately reduced to bring the total to within themaximum. Benefits payable to divorced spouses or surviving divorced spouses arenot reduced under the family maximum provision.

mean. An arithmetic mean is the sum of the observed data divided by the number ofobservations. Compare with median.

median. A median is a figure that falls in the exact middle of a ranking of numbers in

ascending or descending order. Compare with mean.

medical listings. The common term for the Listing of Impairments. See alsodiagnostic group.

Medicare. A nationwide, federally administered health insurance program that covers thecost of hospitalization, medical care, and some related services for most people overthe age of 65, for people receiving Social Security Disability Insurance benefits for2 years, and for people with end-stage renal disease. Medicare consists of two sepa-rate but coordinated programs—Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Supplemen-tary Medical Insurance).

Medicare eligibility based on disability. Medicare benefits are available 2 years afterthe disabled worker, disabled widow(er), or disabled adult child becomes eligible for

benefits.meets listing. A physical or mental impairment that meets the criteria in the Listing of

Impairments and is sufficient to establish disability. This determination is made at thethird step in the sequential evaluation process. See also sequential evaluation

process.




monthly benefit. In this report, "monthly benefit" refers to the monthly benefitcredited (MBC), which is derived as follows:

1. Subtract the Medicare premium from the monthly benefit amount (MBA).

2. Round the result down to the nearest whole dollar.
